The Lambretta hit 90+mph on some stretches of Highway 1. It's a Supermonza with the Cyclone 5 speed box, Tourist pipe, 38TMX, LTH clutch. The Kawasaki is a 3 cyl two stroke and has 500ccs. The Lambretta was quicker on take off.

The Kawasaki probably had better gas mileage. Ha!

Cool video. I didn't realise there were so many scoots out there. I assumed that the californian smog laws would have got rid of them all
